Steakhouse

Mission Viejo / Rancho Santa Margarita

About the restaurant

Trabuco Oaks Steak House is the perfect place to grab a bite to eat after a long day in the canyon or if you just want to get away from the hustle of the city crowds. The rustic BBQ restaurant gently reminds everyone as they walk in that casual is the norm here by displaying cut ties from the ceiling. Enjoy a steak like the top sirloin, New York strip or porterhouse cooked to perfection. Trabuco Oaks understands that not everyone wants steak, so it offers entrŽes like the mesquite grilled chicken, Italian spaghetti or an order of fish and fries.

Finish off the meal at Trabuco Oaks with a delicious dessert such as a hot fudge sundae or the famous hot cherry Gizmo, which is a cherry filling wrapped in a flour tortilla that has been deep fried and topped with ice cream, hot cherry sauce and whipped cream.

We tried Legends and highly recommend this for quality ingredients, excellent presentation & preparation. We enjoyed all courses. The menu had interesting options not just ' the usual' . All the menu items had something that made them so much tastier than usual. Extra steps in the prep that enhanced each dish, or ingredients and sides that complemented the whole. The fileted fish was moist and perfectly prepared as was the panko crusted fish. The desserts must be from family recipes they were soo delicious. The restaurant has large glass windows, it was dark when we arrived but I imagine has beautiful views. The glass windows Im sure lead to more noise like any of our other local favorites. The serivce was attentive and unpretentious. The entirely new decor is a welcome refresh from the restaurant previously there. We would definitely recommend for anything from your 'usual weekly outings or special occasions when you want to make sure everything is memorable. This is a very welcome local option.
